Chapter 300: Hurting Each Other

Resentful of Zhang Jiu, Dong Zhuo sighed, "That's it, let's retreat the whole army." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Dong Zhuo did not hesitate any longer, turned his horse around, and withdrew towards the west under the protection of Zhang Ji and Lu Bu, as well as the pro-army.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo also glared at Wang Hui and Song Qian fiercely, with a complaining look.

Wang Hui and Song Qian glanced at each other, and they looked embarrassed.

"This Dong thief, the lord risked his reputation to ambush Zhang Yuan for him, and he dared to blame the lord, I really wanted to kill him." Wang Fei roared indignantly.

Wang Hui glared at Wang Fei anxiously, and said in a low voice: "Wang Fei, Hugh has to talk nonsense and get into trouble." ”

Wang Fei had to close his mouth, but his face was unhappy.

"Lord, my arrow did hit the back of the thief Zhang's heart, who would have thought that the kid's life was so big, it turned out" Song Qian was dazed and embarrassed, feeling that he couldn't help Wang Hui.

In Wang Hui's eyes, a trace of resentment quietly passed, followed by a generous smile, patted Song Qian's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Song Qian should not blame himself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, or Zhang's thief should not be killed, now is not the time to ask for his life." ”

Song Qian's ashamed expression was slightly retracted, but he sighed again: "Dong Zhuo's defeat this time, I'm afraid that his dissatisfaction with us will be even heavier, and the foolish brother is only afraid that after this battle, it will be more difficult for the lord to gain a foothold in Dong Zhuo." ”

Wang Hui glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Fang sighed in a low voice: "Mine didn't expect that Zhang Thief's kid, in just a few years, would be so strong that he would defeat Dong Zhuo to such an extent, according to the situation, even if Dong Zhuo finally defeated and defeated the thief, he would inevitably lose his strength and no longer be able to fight with Yuan Benchu, and even, when Yuan Benchu unified Hebei, he might not be able to destroy Zhang Thief." ”

"What does the lord mean" Song Qian comprehended seven or eight points.

Wang Hui looked to the north and said meaningfully: "We defected to Dong Zhuo because we wanted to borrow his hand to help the Han family, it seems that now the Han family is about to be destroyed in his hands, for the sake of the great cause, it is time for us to find another way." ”

With that, Wang Hui turned around and retreated with Dong Zhuo's defeated army.

The two glanced at each other and followed Wang Hui closely.

As soon as Dong Zhuo left, Dong Zhuo lost his fighting spirit and collapsed.

At dawn, the battle finally ended.

The hustle and bustle of the battlefield finally fell silent, leaving only the unfinished smoke of gunpowder.

Zhang Yuan, who was covered in blood, stood proudly in the bloody road of the corpse mountain, and the golden glow of the morning light sprinkled on him, as if dyed a golden battle suit for him, majestic and domineering, like killing a god.

Looking around, within a few miles of the camp, there were already corpses all over the field, and the blood stained the fertile field.

At his feet, there were broken battle flags with the word "Dong" everywhere, which were ruthlessly trampled.

The blood-stained banner of "Zhang" is still erected over the battlefield, flying in the wind, indicating who is the winner of this battle.

"Tick system scan, the host won the night raid counterattack, and gained a brutality value of 3, and the host now has a brutality value of 62."

Finally won.

Zhang Yuan let out a long breath, and his blood-stained face couldn't help but show a smile of relief.

It was an out-and-out Song Jian victory.

Before this battle, the number of soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo could use was at least 50,000, and Dong Zhuo's territory was vast, Houhui had sufficient troops, and his war mobilization ability was far superior to him.

And the number of troops at his disposal is only 30,000.

It is difficult to feed 30,000 mouths just by virtue of the land of Bingzhou and Huainan, and the grain levy on the people under his command has exceeded the limit.

If it weren't for his talent for "taxation", such a heavy grain burden would have provoked a popular uprising.

In this battle of Song Jian, Dong Zhuo's main army suffered heavy losses, and the loss of soldiers and horses was at least about 20,000, and it could not be replenished in time in a short time.

After counting the battle losses, Li Jun had 14,000 dead and wounded, and the remaining 6,000 soldiers and horses all surrendered on the ground.

The First World War lost nearly half of the soldiers and horses, which can be described as the most painful defeat for Dong Zhuosheng, and the losses were really heavy.

Zhang Yuan was not carried away by this victory, he knew his purpose, not only to win a big victory, but also to capture the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

After this big victory, Zhang Yuan didn't even waste time to drink saliva, and immediately raised a victorious army of 30,000, followed Dong Zhuo, and chased and fought all the way.

Dong Zhuo was defeated all the way, the soldiers and horses couldn't be contained, and he didn't even have time to enter Dingzhang Chongzhen, so he directly abandoned it and continued to run west along Jishui.

Zhang Yuanbing was bloodless and captured Dingzhang, which was an important town on land and water in the Central Plains.

The soldiers pursued repeatedly, and their physical strength had reached the limit, and Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to pursue, but ordered the army to rest on the spot, and at the same time divided the troops and horses to capture the counties to which Jiyin County belonged, collected grain and grass on the spot, and tried to feed the war with war.

After his army rested in Dingzhang for three days, Zhang Yuan raised his army again and marched along Jishan in the direction of Fengqiu City.

According to the strategy drawn up for him by Gao Gong, the first step of this western expedition was to capture Fengqiu City and cut Dong Zhuo's territory in half from west to east.

As long as Fengqiu City is taken, the East County and Shangdang County in the north will be equivalent to severing the connection with Dong Zhuo, and most of Sizhou can go down without a fight.

After taking the richest counties in Sizhou, the strength of the two sides will be qualitatively reversed, and at that time, Zhang Yuan can carry the superior forces, wave his army from north to south, take Chang'an, and completely destroy Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was resourceful, although he was defeated, he still maintained a calm head, how could he not see Zhang Yuan's scheme.

He quickly retreated to Fengqiu City, stopped retreating, and while cleaning up the defeated troops and strengthening the city defenses, he sent people to Chang'an to Li Ru, ordering him to send additional troops and horses to the front line to hold Fengqiu City.

Ten days later, Dong Zhuo gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Fengqiu City, forming a momentum of perseverance.

Dong Zhuo had just arrived in Fengqiu City, and when his butt was still not stable, Zhang Yuan led a large army to kill him, and went down to the southeast of Fengqiu City, forming an offensive momentum.

The strength of the two sides is equal, Zhang Yuan won a big victory first, with a morale advantage, and Dong Zhuo has a strong back to the strong city, with a geographical advantage, and the strength of the two sides can be described as evenly matched.

Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't take Fengqiu City by attacking it, so at the suggestion of Gao Gong, he launched a new attack method.

Looting grain routes.

The day after camping, Zhang Yuan sent a cavalry unit to bypass Dong Zhuo's defense line and go deep into the front line of Yingchuan, constantly attacking Dong Zhuo's grain route.

Whether the supply of food is smooth or not directly determines the morale of the enemy, Zhang Yuan believes that as long as Dong Zhuo's grain road can be cut off, there is no need for him to attack, Fengqiu City will go down without a fight.
